Jack the Nipper II
Alternative title: Jack the Nipper in coconut capers
Platform: Commodore 64
Gametype: Undefined
_________________________

Naughty toddler Jack finds himself in Africa, with the aim of progressing through 192 screens of platform action. He starts with nine lives but no weapons, although a supply of coconuts to lob is close at hand. 

The jungle is full of snakes, rhinos, birds and all manner of other creatures, all of which must be avoided or killed - remember that their attack paths are pre-programmed, and the trajectory of your coconuts is quite limited. Travelling through the levels involves, amongst other things, ladders, mine carts, trees, ropes and logs.

As well as simply completing the game and amassing as many points as possible, you can aim to be as naughty as possible, which is gauged by a 'Naughty-O-Meter' next to the score, with numerous objects available for that purpose (one can be carried at a time, alongside one weapon).

Jack The Nipper II on the 64 is set in a scrolling jungle rather than being flip screen. There is a lot of graphical variation and the sprites are pleasant to look at. The amusing use of sound and some neat graphic effects (try walking down a dark passage) combine to make this a FUN game.
